     §2. THE TERM LOAN.



     §2.1 Commitment to Lend. Subject to the provisions of §2.4, §12 and the other terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to make a term
loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date (and thereafter pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof) in an
aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Total Commitment.
The outstanding amount of the Term Loan shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment. In no
event shall any Lender be required to fund any amounts in excess of its then-current Commitment.



     The Term Loan shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender’s
Commitment Percentage. The request for the Term Loan shall constitute a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that the conditions set forth in §12 have been satisfied as of the Closing
Date, provided that the making of such representation and warranty by the Borrower shall
not limit the right of any Lender not to lend if such conditions have not been met. No portion of
the Term Loan or other extension of credit shall be required to be made by any Lender unless all of
the conditions contained in §12 have been satisfied as of the Closing Date.



     §2.2. The Term Notes. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Notes. A Term
Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to such
Lender’s Commitment. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made
an appropriate notation on such Lender’s applicable Note Record reflecting the making of its
portion of the Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of any payment thereon. The
outstanding amount of the Term Loan set forth on such applicable Note Record shall be prima
facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the
failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Note Record shall not
limit or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Term
Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Term Note when due.



     §2.3. Interest on the Term Loan; Fees.



          (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date
thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto (unless earlier
paid in accordance with §3.2) at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Base
Rate Margin.




          (b) Each Libor Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date
thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest
Period with respect thereto (unless earlier paid in accordance with §3.2) at a rate equal to the
Libor Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Libor Margin.





-22-









 








          (c) With reference to Base Rate Loans,  the “Applicable Base Rate Margin” shall be equal to
0.25% and, with reference to Libor Rate Loans, the “Applicable Libor Margin” shall be equal to
2.25%.




          (d) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest on the Term Loan in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date with respect thereto, and when the principal of such Term Loan is due
(whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise).




     §2.4. Request for the Term Loan.



     The following provisions shall apply to the initial request by the Borrower for the Term Loan:




          (i) The Borrower shall submit a Completed Loan Request to the Agent. The
Completed Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall
obligate the Borrower to accept the Term Loan requested from the Lenders on the
Closing Date.




          (ii) The Completed Loan Request shall specify: (1) the principal amount of the
Term Loan, (2) the Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan (or portions
thereof), and (3) the Type of Loan being requested, and certifying that, after
giving effect to such requested Term Loan, no Default or Event of Default will
exist under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that, after giving effect
to the Term Loan, the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants set forth in §10
(which calculations required by such covenants shall be submitted with such
Completed Loan Request).




          (iii) No Lender shall be obligated to fund any portion of the Term Loan
unless:




          (a) a Completed Loan Request has been timely received by the Agent as
provided in subsection (i) above; and




          (b) both before and after giving effect to the Term Loan to be made
pursuant to the Completed Loan Request, all of the conditions contained in
§12 shall have been satisfied as of the Closing Date.



     §2.5. Conversion Options.



          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any portion of the outstanding Term
Loan to another Type, provided that (i) subject to the further




-23-









 







proviso at the end of this
§2.5(a) and subject to §2.5(b) and §2.5(d), with respect to any conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a
Libor Rate Loan (or a continuation of a Libor Rate Loan, as provided in §2.5(b)), the Borrower
shall give the Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of such election, which
such notice must be received by the Agent by 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day; and (ii) no Loan may
be converted into a Libor Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Term Loan of any Type may be converted as provided
herein, provided that each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate
Loan to a Libor Rate Loan shall be for an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.




          (b) Any portion of the Term Loan of any Type may be continued as such upon the expiration of
the Interest Period with respect thereto (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, automatically and (ii)
in the case of Libor Rate Loans by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained
in §2.5(a)(i); provided that no Libor Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but shall be automatically converted to a Base
Rate Loan on the last day of the first Interest Period relating thereto ending during the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The Borrower shall notify the Agent promptly when
any such automatic conversion contemplated by this §2.5(b) is scheduled to occur.




          (c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with
respect to any portion of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, such portion of the
Term Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable
Interest Period.




          (d) The Borrower may not request or elect a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.4, elect to convert
a Base Rate Loan to a Libor Rate Loan pursuant to §2.5(a) or elect to continue a Libor Rate Loan
pursuant to §2.5(b) if, after giving effect thereto, there would be greater than five (5) Libor
Rate Loans then outstanding. Any Loan Request or Conversion Request for a Libor Rate Loan that
would create greater than five (5) Libor Rate Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be a Loan
Request or Conversion Request for a Base Rate Loan. By way of explanation of the foregoing, in the
event that the Borrower wishes to convert or continue two or more portions of the Term Loan into
one Libor Rate Loan on the same day and for identical Interest Periods, such Libor Rate Loan shall
constitute one single Libor Rate Loan for purposes of this clause (d).




          (e) The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of any Conversion Request received pursuant to
§2.5(a) or continuation pursuant to §2.5(b) in accordance with its customary practices.




     §2.6. [Reserved].



     §2.7. [Reserved].



-24-









 





     §2.8. Increase in Total Commitment. At any time (but at least 60 days prior to the
Maturity Date), the Borrower shall have the right, upon written notice to the Agent and
satisfaction of the Increase Conditions, to cause the Total Commitment to increase by an amount not
exceeding $35,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Increase”), in which event Schedule 2 will be
deemed to be amended to reflect the increased Commitment of each Lender, if any, that has agreed in
writing to an increase and to add any third party financial institution that may have become a
party to, and a “Lender” under, this Agreement in connection with the Increase (and the Agent is
hereby authorized to effect such amendment on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrower, together with
other conforming amendments); provided, however, that it shall be a condition
precedent to the effectiveness of the Increase that the Increase Conditions shall have been
satisfied. In the event that the Increase results in any change to the Commitment Percentage of
any Lender, then on the effective date of such Increase in the Total Commitment (i) any new Lender,
and any existing Lender whose Commitment has increased, shall pay to the Agent such amounts as are
necessary to fund its new or increased Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan, (ii) the Agent will
use the proceeds thereof to pay to all Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing such
amounts as are necessary so that each such Lender’s participation in the existing Term Loan will be
equal to its adjusted Commitment Percentage, and (iii) if the effective date of such Increase in
the Total Commitment occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to
any outstanding Libor Rate Loan, the Borrower will be responsible for Libor Breakage Costs and any
other amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 on account of the payments made pursuant to clause (ii)
above. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment in connection with the
Increase.



     §2.9. Extension of Term Loan Maturity Date. At least 60 days but in no event more
than 120 days prior to August 11, 2010, the Borrower, by written notice to the Agent (with copies
for each Lender), may request an extension of the Maturity Date by a period of one year from the
Maturity Date then in effect (the “Extension”). The Extension shall become effective on August 11,
2010 so long as (i) the Borrower has paid to the Agent on such date, for the ratable accounts of
the Lenders, an extension fee in an amount equal to 25 basis points on the Total Commitment in
effect on such date, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such
date and all representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct as
of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate expressly to an
earlier date). The notice referred to in the first sentence of this §2.9 shall constitute and
shall be deemed to be a certification by the Borrower as to the truth and accuracy of the
statements contained in clause (ii) of
the preceding sentence. In addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a Certificate of
Compliance certifying compliance with the covenants set forth in §10 as of the date of such
Extension.



     §3. REPAYMENT OF THE TERM LOAN.



-25-









 





     §3.1. Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall
become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all unpaid principal of the Term Loan
outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any and
all other unpaid amounts due under this Agreement, the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents.



     §3.2. Optional Repayments of the Term Loan. The Borrower shall have the right, at its
election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time
without penalty or premium; provided that the outstanding amount of any Libor Rate Loans
may not be prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period unless the Borrower pays
the Libor Breakage Costs for each Libor Rate Loan so prepaid at the time of such prepayment. The
Borrower shall give the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender), no later than 10:00 a.m.,
Cleveland, Ohio time, at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice of any prepayment
pursuant to this §3.2 of any Base Rate Loans, and at least four (4) Business Days’ notice of any
proposed prepayment pursuant to this §3.2 of Libor Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of
prepayment and the principal amount to be prepaid. Each such partial prepayment of the Term Loan
shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
shall be accompanied by the payment of all charges, if any, outstanding on the Term Loan so prepaid
and of all accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment, and shall be applied,
in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then
to the principal of Libor Rate Loans.



     §3.3. Mandatory Repayment of the Term Loan. Without limitation of any of the Agent’s
or the Lenders’ rights hereunder, including §7, if, at any time, the outstanding amount of the Term
Loan exceeds 60% of the Value of Eligible Borrowing Base Properties, or to the extent necessary for
the Borrower to be in compliance with the covenants contained in §10.5 or §10.6, the Borrower shall
immediately pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, the amount of such excess or the
amount necessary to so comply, as applicable.



     §4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.



     §4.1. Funds for Payments.



          (a) All payments of principal, interest, fees, and any other amounts due hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the
Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in each case in Dollars and
in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest
on the Term Loan and of fees hereunder not later than 12:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the due
date thereof.




-26-









 








          (b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory liens, restrictions or
conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political
subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to
make such deduction or withholding. If the Borrower is compelled by law to make any such deduction
or withholding with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents (except with respect to taxes on the income or profits of the Agent or any Lender), the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent,
on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document,
such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders to receive the same
net amount which the Lenders would have received on such due date had no such deduction or
withholding obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the
Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes
or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or
under such other Loan Document.




     §4.2. Computations. All computations of interest on Libor Rate Loans and of other
fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and all computations of interest on
Base Rate Loans shall be based on a 365/366 day year, in each case paid for the actual number of
days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with
respect to Libor Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding
amount of the Loans as reflected on the Note Records or record attached to any other Note from time
to time shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof.



     §4.3. Inability to Determine Libor Rate. In the event, prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period relating to any Libor Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine that adequate and
reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate that would otherwise determine the
rate of interest to be applicable to any Libor Rate Loan during any Interest Period, the Agent
shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrower) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such event (a) any Conversion Request with respect
to Libor Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate
Loans, (b) each Libor Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and (c) the obligations of the Lenders to make
Libor Rate Loans shall be suspended, in each case unless and until the Agent determines that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify
the Borrower and the Lenders.



-27-









 





     §4.4. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or
future law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith
give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the obligation of
such Lender to make Libor Rate Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Libor Rate Loans shall forthwith
be suspended and (b) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Libor Rate Loans then outstanding shall
be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to
such Libor Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law, all until such time
as it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Libor Rate Loans. The Borrower
hereby agrees promptly to pay the Agent for the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for Libor Breakage Costs incurred by such Lender in
making any conversion required by this §4.4 prior to the last day of an Interest Period.



     §4.5. Additional Costs, Etc. If any present or future applicable law, which
expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations
thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged
with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and
notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or
the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having
the force of law, but if not having the force of law, then generally applied by the Lenders or the
Agent with respect to similar loans), shall:



          (a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or
withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or
measured by the income or profits of such Lender or the Agent), or




          (b) change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of
payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on the Term Loan or any other amounts
payable to the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or




          (c) impose or increase or render applicable (other than to the extent specifically provided
for elsewhere in this Agreement) any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital
adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held
by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or letters of credit issued by, or
commitments of an office of any Lender, or




          (d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such




-28-









 







Lender’s Commitment, or any class of
loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part;




and the result of any of the foregoing is





     (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing,
extending or maintaining any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment, or




     (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to
such Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of
the Loans, or




     (iii) to require such Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any
interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone
interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum
receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from the Borrower
hereunder,


then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such
demand to be made promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination),
at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such
Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good
faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction,
payment or foregone interest or other sum, provided that such Lender or the Agent is
generally imposing similar charges on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall
provide the Borrower with a
calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.




     §4.6. Capital Adequacy. If any future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law, but if not having the force of law,
then generally applied by the Lenders with respect to similar loans) or the interpretation thereof
by a court or governmental authority with appropriate jurisdiction affects the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by banks or bank holding companies and any Lender or the
Agent determines that the amount of capital required to be maintained by it is increased by or
based upon the existence of Loans made or deemed to be made pursuant hereto, then such Lender or
the Agent may notify the Borrower of such fact, and the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the
Agent from time to time, upon demand made by the Agent or such Lender (such demand to be made
promptly by the Agent or such Lender upon the making of any such determination), as an additional
fee payable hereunder, such amount as such Lender or the Agent shall determine reasonably and in
good faith and certify in a notice to the Borrower to be an amount that will adequately compensate
such Lender in light of these circumstances for



-29-









 




its increased costs of maintaining such capital.
Each Lender and the Agent shall allocate such cost increases among its customers in good faith and
on an equitable basis, and will not charge the Borrower unless it is generally imposing a similar
charge on its other similarly situated borrowers. The Agent shall provide the Borrower with a
calculation, in reasonable detail, of such amounts in accordance with its customary practices.




     §4.7. Certificate; Limitations. A certificate setting forth any additional amounts
payable pursuant to §§4.5 or 4.6 and a brief explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted
by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be prima facie evidence that such
amounts are due and owing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4,
to the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate lending office in the
continental United States to make the Loans in order to reduce any liability of Borrower to such
Lender under §§4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 or to avoid the unavailability of a Libor Rate Loan, so long as such
designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.



     §4.8. Indemnity. In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement regarding such
matters, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and to hold the Agent and each
Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense (including loss of anticipated profits)
that the Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) a default by the
Borrower in the payment of any principal amount of or any interest on any Libor Rate Loans as and
when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by
the Agent or such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Libor Rate
Loans, (b) the failure by the Borrower to make a borrowing or conversion after
the Borrower has given the Completed Loan Request for a Libor Rate Loan or a Conversion Request for
a Libor Rate Loan, and (c) the making of any payment of a Libor Rate Loan or the making of any
conversion of any such Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable
Interest Period with respect thereto, including interest or fees payable by the Agent or a Lender
to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain any such Libor Rate Loans.



     §4.9. Interest on Overdue Amounts; Late Charge. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary stated herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at
the option of the Majority Lenders, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the unpaid balance
of all Obligations shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2%,
compounded daily until such Event of Default is cured or waived to the satisfaction of the Agent
and the required Lenders. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to five percent
(5%) of any amount of interest charges on the Term Loan which is not paid within ten (10) days of
the date when due.



     §5. COLLATERAL



     §5.1. Security Interests. The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected
first-priority lien on, or security title and security interest to be held by the Agent for the

Interests of each entity that owns an Eligible Borrowing Base Property, and (ii) such additional
collateral, if any, as the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders from time to time may accept as

-47-









 





          (b) The Borrower hereby agrees that each of the Lenders and the Agent (and each of their
respective, and their respective affiliates’, employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors
(collectively, “Representatives”) is, and has been from the commencement of discussions with
respect to the facility established by the Agreement (the “Facility”), permitted to disclose to any
and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the structure and tax aspects (as such terms are
used in Code sections 6011 and 6111) of the Facility, and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such Lender or the Agent related
to such structure and tax aspects. In this regard, the Lenders and the Agent intend that this
transaction will not be a “confidential transaction” under Code sections 6011, 6111 or 6112, and
the regulations promulgated thereunder. Neither Borrower, the Trust, any Subsidiary Guarantor, nor
any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing intends to treat the Term Loan or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as being a “reportable transaction”
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). If the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, the Borrower will
promptly notify the Agent thereof. If the Borrower so notifies the Agent, the Borrower
acknowledges that the Agent may treat the Term Loan as part of a transaction that is subject to
Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and the Agent will maintain the lists and other records,
including the identity of the applicable party to the Term Loan as required by such Treasury
Regulation.




          (c) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Agent and/or the Arranger will make
available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by the Borrower hereunder by posting
such materials on SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b)
certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive
material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all such materials that are to be
made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” by Borrower
which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page
thereof; (x) by marking such materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized
the Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders to treat such materials as not containing any material
non-public information with respect to the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trust or their
securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all such materials
marked “PUBLIC” by Borrower are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform
designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any
such materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the
Platform established for confidential non-public information and materials with respect to
Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trust or their securities and not designated “Public
Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any such
materials “PUBLIC.” In addition, Agent, Arranger and the Lenders all agree to maintain all such
materials (other than any such materials as are marked “PUBLIC”) in confidence





-48-












 




and further agree that they shall not make any such materials available to any other Person (including, without
limitation, other proposed Lenders and/or participants) unless and until such other Person agrees
in writing to maintain such materials in confidence consistent with the terms hereof.




     §8.11. Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower, the
Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trust will comply with, and will cause each of their respective
Subsidiaries to comply with (a) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect
wherever its business is conducted that are material in any respect to the operation of their
respective businesses in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices, including, without
limitation, all such Environmental Laws and all such applicable federal and state securities laws,
(b) the provisions of its partnership agreement or corporate charter and other Organizational
Documents, as applicable, (c) all material agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties may be bound (including the Real Estate Assets and the Leases, as
applicable) and (d) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments. If at any time while the Term
Loan or any Note or other Obligation is outstanding or the Lenders have any obligation to make,
continue or convert a portion of the Term Loan hereunder, any Permit shall become necessary or
required in order that the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may fulfill any of its obligations
hereunder, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries
will immediately take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps within the power of the Borrower,
such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trust, as applicable, to obtain such Permit and furnish the Agent
with evidence thereof.



     §8.12. Use of Proceeds. Subject at all times to the other provisions of this
Agreement, including without limitation §7.17, the Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans
solely to refinance certain Permitted Properties known as the “Suburban Maryland Office Portfolio.”



     §8.13. Additional Borrower; Solvency of Borrower; Removal of Borrower; Addition of Real
Estate Asset to Unencumbered Pool.



          (a) (i) If, after the Closing Date, the Borrower wishes to designate as an Eligible Borrowing
Base Property a Real Estate Asset that otherwise qualifies as an Eligible Borrowing Base Property
but is owned by a Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower shall give
the Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof. With such written notice,
the Borrower and/or the potential Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall deliver to the Agent
each of the following, all of which must be satisfactory to and approved by the Agent: (A) the applicable Joinder Documents,
which shall include, without limitation, a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to which
such Wholly-owned Subsidiary which owns the potential Eligible Borrowing Base Property guarantees
the Obligations, a supplement to the Equity Pledge Agreement pursuant to which one hundred percent
of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary shall be pledged to the Agent and a supplement to the
Account Agreement, if



-49-









 






applicable; (ii) the organizational structure and Organizational Documents
for the direct and indirect owners of such potential Eligible Borrowing Base Property; (iii) the
operating statements and rent roll with respect to such potential Eligible Borrowing Base Property;
(iv) a Certificate of Compliance in the form of Exhibit C evidencing compliance with the
covenants set forth in §10, and containing a certification that no Default or Event of Default
exists and that such potential Borrowing Base Asset is not the subject of a Disqualifying
Environmental Event or a Disqualifying Structural Event, in each case after giving effect to the
inclusion of the additional Eligible Borrowing Base Property; and (v) such other documents,
instruments, agreements, amendments or supplements to existing Security Documents, lien search
results, opinions or other information as the Agent deems necessary or advisable with respect to
such potential Eligible Borrowing Base Property, the potential Subsidiary Guarantor or the
potential Pledged Interests.




               (ii) At any time and from time to time but only for so long as no Default or Event of Default
shall then exist, the Borrower may notify Agent, in writing (each, a “Release Notice”), that the
Borrower would like one (1) or more Eligible Borrowing Base Properties to be removed from the
Borrowing Base Pool. Such Release Notice shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Compliance in
the form of Exhibit C, evidencing compliance with §10 and certifying as to no Default or
Event of Default after giving effect to the requested release. Upon the Agent’s receipt of, and
written consent to the release specified in, such Release Notice and its satisfaction with the
Certificate of Compliance, such Eligible Borrowing Base Properties (each, a “Released Property”)
shall be removed from the Borrowing Base Pool and any Subsidiary Guarantor which is the owner of a
Released Property (and is not the owner of any other Eligible Borrowing Base Property) shall be
released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty.



               (iii) FPLP will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor that owns an Eligible Borrowing Base
Property to have any Subsidiaries unless such Subsidiary is wholly-owned by such Subsidiary
Guarantor and such Subsidiary’s business, obligations and undertakings are exclusively related to
the business of such Borrower.



          (b) The Borrower and the Trust shall remain solvent at all times.




          (c) In the event the Borrower wishes to add a Real Estate Asset to the Borrowing Base Pool

Agent and the Majority Lenders.




     §8.14. Further Assurances; Release of Liens.



          (a) The Borrower and the Trust will, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, cooperate

by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.




          (b) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, no later than 30 days following the Closing Date,

     §8.15. Interest Rate Protection. In the event that the Borrower’s floating rate

vehicles such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate corridors or interest rate
collars, in each case to be capped at a rate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and otherwise in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) for a term and in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent. Once obtained, the Borrower shall maintain such arrangements in full
force and effect as provided therein, and shall not, without the approval of the Agent, modify,
terminate, or transfer such arrangements during the period in which the Borrower’s floating rate
Indebtedness exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of Consolidated Gross Asset Value.



     §8.16. Environmental Indemnification. The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will
indemnify and hold the Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates, harmless
from and against any and all claims, expense, damage, loss or liability incurred by the Agent or
any Lender (including all reasonable costs of legal representation incurred by the Agent or any
Lender, but excluding, as applicable, for the Agent or a Lender any claim, expense, damage, loss or
liability as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender or
any of their respective Affiliates) relating to (a) any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Substances on any Real Estate Asset; (b) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to
conditions at any Real Estate Asset or the operations conducted thereon; (c) the investigation or

disposed of Hazardous Substances; or (d) any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or
threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances relating to Real Estate Assets (including, but
not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property). It
is expressly acknowledged by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors that, notwithstanding the introductory
paragraph of this §8, this covenant of indemnification shall survive the repayment of the amounts
owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations
of the Lenders hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and their
respective Affiliates, their respective



-51-









 




successors, and their respective assigns under the Loan Documents permitted under this Agreement.




     §8.17. Response Actions. The Borrower covenants and agrees that if any Release or
disposal of Hazardous Substances shall occur or shall have occurred on any Real Estate Asset owned
directly or indirectly by the Borrower, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trust, in violation

such Hazardous Substances and remediation of such Real Estate Asset as necessary to comply with all
Environmental Laws or to preserve the value of any applicable Eligible Borrowing Base Property.

with the Borrower and review of any environmental reports provided by the Borrower, that a
Disqualifying Environmental Event has occurred with respect to any one or more of the Eligible
Borrowing Base Properties, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred, the
Agent may, from time to time, for the purpose of assessing and determining whether a Disqualifying
Environmental Event has in fact occurred, cause the Borrower to obtain one or more environmental
assessments or audits of such Eligible Borrowing Base Property prepared by a hydrogeologist, an
independent engineer or other qualified consultant or expert approved by the Agent to evaluate or
confirm (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at such Eligible
Borrowing Base Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Eligible Borrowing Base
Property complies with all Environmental Laws. Environmental assessments may include without
limitation detailed visual inspections of such Eligible Borrowing Base Property including, without
limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and, if
and to the extent reasonable, appropriate and required pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws,
the taking of soil samples, surface water samples and ground water samples, as well as such other
investigations or analyses as the Agent deems appropriate. All such environmental assessments
shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.



     §8.19. Employee Benefit Plans.



          (a) Notice. The Borrower and the Trust will notify the Agent (with copies to the

Plan, Multiemployer Plan or Guaranteed Pension Plan by any of them or any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates other than those disclosed on Schedule 7.16 attached hereto or disclosed in the

maintained by the Borrower, the Trust or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates which is an
employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(l) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, the Borrower, the
Trust, or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, as the case may be, shall have the right to
terminate each such plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable
bargaining agreement) without liability other than liability to pay claims incurred prior to the
date of termination.




          (d) Unfunded or Underfunded Liabilities. The Borrower and the Trust will not at any
time have accruing or accrued unfunded or underfunded liabilities with respect to any Employee
Benefit Plan, Guaranteed Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, or permit any condition to exist under
any Multiemployer Plan that would create a withdrawal liability.

time cause or permit its certificate of limited partnership, agreement of limited partnership
(including without limitation the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Borrower), articles of

Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate
amount exceeding $2,000,000 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could

          (m) subject to the Borrower’s ability to remove Real Estate Assets from the Borrowing Base

Directors or Board of Trustees has duly elected or appointed a qualified substitute to replace such
individual who is acceptable to the Majority Lenders in their sole discretion (as notified to the
Borrower by the Agent in writing); or the occurrence of any transaction in which any “person” or
“group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934), directly or indirectly, of a sufficient number of shares of all classes of stock then
outstanding of the Trust ordinarily entitled to vote in the election of directors, empowering such
“person” or “group” to elect a majority of the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees of the
Trust, who did not have such power before such transaction; or during any twelve-month period on or
after the Closing Date, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of

whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Trust was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the members of the Board of Trustees then in office who either were members of the

previously so approved) ceased for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Board
of Trustees of the Trust then in office; or



          (o) without limitation of the other provisions of this §14.1, the Trust shall at any time fail
to be the sole general partner of FPLP or shall at any time be in

contravention of any of the

limitation, the last paragraph of §9.3); or



          (p) the Borrower shall fail to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Equity Interests of

then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, the Agent may, and upon
the request of the Majority Lenders shall, declare all amounts owing with respect to this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become,
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trust and each
of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that in the event of any Event of Default
specified in §14.1(g) or 14.1(h), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable
automatically and without any requirement of notice from any of the Lenders or the Agent or action
by the Lenders or the Agent.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this §14.1, in the event of a Default or Event of
Default arising as a result of the inclusion of any Real Estate Asset in the Borrowing Base Pool at
any particular time of reference, if such Default or Event of Default is capable of being cured by
the exclusion of such Real Estate Asset from the Borrowing Base Pool in accordance with, and
subject to, §8.13 and from all other covenant calculations under §10 or otherwise, the Borrower
shall be permitted a period not to exceed five (5) days to submit to the Agent (with copies to the
Agent for each Lender) a compliance certificate in the form of Exhibit C hereto evidencing
compliance with the covenants set forth in §10 (with calculations evidencing such compliance after
excluding from Adjusted Net Operating Income all of the Adjusted Net Operating Income generated by
the Real Estate Asset to be excluded from the Borrowing Base Pool) and with the Borrowing Base
Property Conditions, and otherwise certifying that, after giving effect to the exclusion of such
Real Estate Asset from the Borrowing Base Pool, no Default or Event of Default will be continuing.



     §14.2. [Reserved.]



     §14.3. Remedies. In the event that one or more Events of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Term Loan
pursuant to §14.1, the Majority Lenders may direct the Agent to proceed to protect and enforce the
rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Notes, any or all of the
other Loan Documents or under applicable law by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate
proceeding (including for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are
evidenced and, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver), and, if any amount shall have become due, by



-67-









 







declaration or
otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right or remedy
of the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law. No remedy herein
conferred upon the Lenders or the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.



     §15. SECURITY INTEREST AND SET-OFF.



     §15.1 Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for
the benefit of the Lenders, and to each Lender, a lien, security interest and right of setoff as
security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the
possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of the Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of KeyCorp. and
its successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them.



     §15.2 Set-Off and Debit. (i) If any Event of Default or other event which would
entitle the Agent to accelerate the Term Loan occurs, or (ii) at any time, whether or not any
Default or Event of Default exists, in the event any attachment, trustee process, garnishment, or
other levy or lien is, or is sought to be, imposed on any property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary
Guarantor; then, in any such event, any such deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due
from the Agent or any Lender, or from any such affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, to the
Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor may to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law at
any time or from time to time, without regard to the existence, sufficiency or adequacy of any
other collateral, and without notice or compliance with any other condition precedent now or
hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law or otherwise, all of which are hereby waived, be set off,
debited and appropriated, and applied by the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, against any
or all of the Obligations irrespective of whether demand shall have been made and although such
Obligations may be unmatured, in such manner as the Agent or the applicable Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion may determine. Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off, debit
or appropriation and application, the Agent agrees to notify the Borrower thereof, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off, debit or
appropriation and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE
ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOANS, PRIOR TO
EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE
BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. Each of the Lenders agrees
with each other Lender that (a) if an amount to be set off is to be applied to indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender, other than the obligations evidenced by the Note held by such Lender, such
amount shall be applied ratably to such



-68-









 







other indebtedness and to the obligations evidenced by the
Note held by such Lender, and (b) if such Lender shall receive from the Borrower, whether by
voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, counterclaim, cross action, enforcement of the
claim evidenced by the Note held by such Lender by proceedings against the Borrower or a Subsidiary
Guarantor at law or in equity or by proof thereof in bankruptcy, reorganization liquidation,
receivership or similar proceedings, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the
Note held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by
all of the Lenders with respect to the Note held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such
disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of
distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each
Lender receiving in respect of the Note held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by
this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered
from such Lender, such
disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest.



     §15.3 Right to Freeze. The Agent and each of the Lenders shall also have the right,
at its option, upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle the Agent or any Lender to set
off or debit as set forth in §15.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such deposits, balances and
other sums so that the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors may not access, control or draw upon
the same.



     §15.4 Additional Rights. The rights of the Agent, the Lenders and each affiliate of
Agent and each of the Lenders under this Section 15 are in addition to, and not in limitation of,
other rights and remedies, including other rights of set off, which the Agent or any Lender may
have.



     §16. THE AGENT.



     §16.1. Authorization. (a) The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of
each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other
Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are
reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly
assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The relationship
between the Agent and the Lenders is and shall be that of agent and principal only, and nothing
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the
Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender.



          (b) The Borrower, without further inquiry or investigation, shall, and is hereby authorized by
the Lenders to, assume that all actions taken by the Agent hereunder and in connection with or
under the Loan Documents are duly authorized by the Lenders. The Lenders shall notify Borrower of
any successor to Agent by a writing signed by Majority Lenders, which successor shall be reasonably
acceptable to the



-69-









 







Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing. The Borrower acknowledges that any Lender which acquires KeyBank is acceptable as a
successor to the Agent.



     §16.2. Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties
by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent in its sole discretion
may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by
the Borrower.



     §16.3. No Liability. Neither the Agent, nor any of its shareholders, directors,
officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee
thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted
to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in
connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error
of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent may be liable for losses due to its willful
misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.



     §16.4. No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or
validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or for
the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes,
or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the
Trust or the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire
as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements in
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any
notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or the
Trust or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and
complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express
or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness
or financial condition of the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or the Trust or any of the Subsidiaries or any tenant under a Lease or any other
entity. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.



     §16.5. Payments.



          (a) A payment by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents for
the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such



-70-









 







Lender on the date received, if before
1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), and if after 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), on the next
Business Day. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share
of payments received by the Agent for the accounts of all the Lenders, as provided herein or in any
of the other Loan Documents. All such payments by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made on the
date received, if before 1:00 p.m., and if after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day.



          (b) If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in
such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it
in material liability, it may refrain from making
distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent shall invest any such undistributed amounts
in overnight obligations on behalf of the Lenders and interest thereon shall be paid pro
rata to the Lenders. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount
received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution
shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so
adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be
determined by such court.



          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro
rata share of the Term Loan or (ii) to adjust promptly such Lender’s outstanding principal
and its pro rata Commitment Percentage as provided in §2.1, shall be deemed delinquent (a
“Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is
satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it
from the Borrower, whether on account of the outstanding Term Loan, interest, fees or otherwise, to
the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective
pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes
the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their
respective pro rata shares of the outstanding Term Loan. If not previously
satisfied directly by the Delinquent Lender, a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied
in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to the
outstanding Term Loan of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro  rata shares
of the outstanding Term Loan have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency
and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Commitment of any
Delinquent Lender shall be excluded for purposes of making a determination of Majority Lenders or
Unanimous Lender Approval. At the written request of the Borrower, the Agent or, with the consent
of the Agent, any Lender or an Eligible Assignee, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
purchase from any Delinquent Lender, and each Delinquent Lender shall, upon such request, sell and
assign to the Agent, such Lender or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Delinquent Lender’s
outstanding Term Loan hereunder. Such sale shall be consummated promptly after the Agent has
arranged for a purchase by the Agent, a Lender or an Eligible Assignee



-71-









 







pursuant to an Assignment
and Assumption, and at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Delinquent
Lender’s Term Loan plus accrued interest and fees, without premium or discount.



     §16.6. Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Notes as the
absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in
writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.



     §16.7. Indemnity. The Lenders ratably and severally agree hereby to indemnify and
hold harmless the Agent and its Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions and suits
(whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for
which the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §17), and liabilities of
every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the
Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be
directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.



     §16.8. Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity as a Lender, KeyBank shall have
the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and
the Term Loan made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes, as it would have were it not also
the Agent.



     §16.9. Notification of Defaults and Events of Default. Each Lender hereby agrees
that, upon learning of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, it shall (to the extent
notice has not previously been provided) promptly notify the Agent thereof. The Agent hereby
agrees that upon receipt of any notice under this §16.9 it shall promptly notify the other Lenders
of the existence of such Default or Event of Default.



     §16.10. Duties in Case of Enforcement. In the case one or more Events of Default
have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall
have occurred, the Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Majority Lenders,
and provided that the Lenders have given to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances
against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the
provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the exercise of any other legal
or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the
Majority Lenders. The Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon
the instruction of the Majority Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the
Lenders. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of
any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right



-72-









 







or remedy, the
Lenders hereby agreeing to severally indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all costs and
liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction,
provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the
Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction may expose the Agent to
liability or be contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable law. The Agent may, in its discretion
but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Majority
Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes reasonably necessary to preserve the rights of
the Lenders hereunder, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief or
appointment of a receiver. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that, except for any rights
of set-off pursuant to and in accordance with §15.2 hereof, no individual Lender may separately
enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without
limitation the Notes, other than through the Agent. The Agent shall advise the Lenders of all such
action taken by the Agent.



     §16.11. Successor Agent. KeyBank, or any successor Agent, may resign as Agent at any
time by giving at least 30 days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and to the Borrower.
Any such resignation shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent, as
hereinafter provided. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent, which is a Lender under this Agreement, provided that so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Borrower shall have the right to
approve any successor Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in the case of
a resignation by the Agent, no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders
and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days
after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf
of the Lenders, appoint any one of the other Lenders as a successor Agent. The Borrower
acknowledges that any Lender which acquires KeyBank is acceptable as a successor Agent. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations
as Agent under this Agreement. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this §16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was Agent under this Agreement. The Agent agrees that it shall not assign any of its rights or
duties as Agent to any other Person. The Agent may be removed at the direction of the Majority
Lenders in the event of a final judicial determination (in which the Agent had an opportunity to be
heard) that the Agent had acted in a grossly negligent manner or in willful misconduct.



     §16.12. Notices. Any notices or other information required hereunder to be provided
to the Agent (with copies to the Agent for each Lender) shall be promptly forwarded by the Agent to
each of the Lenders.

reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments
mentioned herein, (b) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Agent’s outside

may be employees of any Lender or the Agent, and the fees and costs of engineers, appraisers,
surveyors, investment bankers, or other experts retained by any Lender or the Agent in connection
with any such enforcement proceedings) incurred by any Lender or the Agent in connection with (i)
the enforcement of or preservation of rights under any of the Loan Documents against the Borrower,
any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or the Trust or the administration thereof
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (including,
without limitation, expenses incurred in any restructuring and/or “workout” of the Term Loan), and
(ii) any litigation, proceeding or dispute whether arising hereunder or otherwise, in any way
related to any Lender’s or the Agent’s relationship with the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or
any of their respective Subsidiaries or the Trust, (f) all reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of the Agent incurred in connection with UCC searches and filings, UCC terminations
or mortgage discharges, or otherwise in connection with the Collateral, and (g) all costs incurred

Properties (or any proposed Eligible Borrowing Base Property) or with the addition of any Eligible
Borrowing Base Property. The covenants of this §17 shall survive the repayment of the amounts
owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and the obligations
of the Lenders hereunder.



     §18. INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent
and each of the Lenders and the shareholders, directors, agents, officers, subsidiaries and
affiliates of the Agent and each of the Lenders from and against any and all claims, actions and
suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses
(including amounts, if any, owing to any Lender pursuant to §§4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.8), settlement
payments, obligations, damages and expenses of every nature and character in connection therewith,
arising out of this



-74-









 







Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby or which otherwise arise in connection with the financing, including, without
limitation, (a) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the
proceeds of any of the Term Loans (b) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries entering into or
performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (c) pursuant to §8.16, in each
case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated
costs of internal
counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding,
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated under this §18 to indemnify any
Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or
breach of this Agreement, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In
litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Borrower shall be entitled to select counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders, and the Agent (as approved by the Majority Lenders)
shall be entitled to select their own supervisory counsel, and, in addition to the foregoing
indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of each such
counsel. Prior to any settlement of any such litigation by the Lenders, the Lenders shall provide
the Borrower and the Trust with notice and an opportunity to address any of their concerns with the
Lenders, and the Lenders shall not settle any litigation without first obtaining Borrower’s consent
thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such
consent shall not be required at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this §18 are unenforceable for any
reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction
of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The provisions of this §18 shall
survive the repayment of the amounts owing under the Notes and this Agreement and the termination
of this Agreement and the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and shall continue in full force and
effect as long as the possibility of any such claim, action, cause of action or suit exists.



     §19. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or
other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or the Trust pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by
the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of
them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Term Loan as herein contemplated, and
shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes
or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding. The indemnification obligations of the
Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of
amounts due and the termination of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the
extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper
delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or the Trust pursuant hereto or in connection
with the



-75-









 







transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the
Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Subsidiary or the Trust hereunder.

secondarily liable in respect of any of the Obligations of any of their obligations under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto; (c) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,

delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of the Term
Loan owing to, the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.
The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Except in the case of an assignment by a
Lender to its Affiliate, upon each such recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the
Agent a registration fee in the sum of $3,500 and all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Agent
in connection with such assignment.



     §20.4. New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by the
parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall (a)
record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrower and the Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Unless done simultaneously with the
Assignment and Assumption, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice,
the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each
surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the

affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder to the Borrower and the Agent and the

to waivers, amendments or modifications of, or approvals under, the Loan Documents shall be the
rights to approve waivers, amendments or modifications that would reduce the principal of or the
interest rate on the Term Loan, extend the term or increase the amount of the Commitment of such
Lender as it relates to such participant, reduce the amount of any fees to which such participant
is entitled or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest, and (d) no
participant shall have the right to grant further participations or assign its rights, obligations
or interests under such participation to other Persons without the prior written consent of the
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Lender at no cost to the Borrower may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and
rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal

     §28. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and
any term of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents may be amended, and the
performance or observance by the Borrower, a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trust or any of their
respective Subsidiaries of any terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the
Majority Lenders.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unanimous Lender Approval shall be required for any amendment,
modification or waiver of this Agreement that:




     (i) reduces or forgives any principal of any unpaid Loan or any
interest thereon (including any general waiver of interest “breakage”
costs) or any fees due any Lender hereunder, or permits any prepayment not
otherwise permitted hereunder; or




     (ii) changes the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan, reduces
the rate of interest applicable to the Term Loan, or reduces any fee
payable to the Lenders hereunder; or




     (iii) changes the date fixed for any payment of principal of or
interest on the Term Loan (including, without limitation, any extension of
the Maturity Date not contemplated herein) or any fees payable hereunder
(including, without limitation, the waiver of any monetary Event of
Default); or



-83-









 






     (iv) changes the amount of any Lender’s Commitment (other than
pursuant to an assignment permitted under §20.1) or increases the amount
of the Total Commitment except as permitted hereunder; or




     (v) modifies any provision herein or in any other Loan Document which
by the terms thereof expressly requires Unanimous Lender Approval; or




     (vi) changes the definitions of Majority Lenders or Unanimous Lender
Approval; or




     (vii) releases the Guaranty of the Trust, any Subsidiary Guaranty or
a material portion of the Collateral, other than in accordance with the
terms hereof.



     No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right
consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or the
Lenders or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be
prejudicial to such right or any other rights of the Agent or the Lenders. No notice to or demand
upon the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower requests any consent, waiver or
approval under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or an amendment or modification hereof or
thereof, and one or more Lenders determine not to consent or agree to such consent, waiver,
approval, amendment or modification, then the Lender then acting as Agent hereunder shall have the
right to purchase the Commitment of such non-consenting Lender(s) at a purchase price equal to the
then outstanding amount of principal, interest and fees then owing to such Lender(s) by the
Borrower hereunder, and such non-consenting Lender(s) shall immediately upon request, sell and
assign its Commitment and all of its other right, title and interest in the Loans and other
Obligations to the Lender then acting as Agent pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption (provided
that the selling Lender(s) shall not be responsible to pay any assignment fee in connection
therewith).



     §29. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one
clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any
jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision,
or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision
in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

§30. INTEREST RATE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan, together with all fees, charges and other
amounts which are treated as interest on such Term Loan under applicable law (collectively, the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Term Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Term Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Term Loan but were
not payable as a result of the operation of this §30 shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other periods shall be increased (but not above the
Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal
Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.




     §31. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. The following notification is provided to the Borrower and
the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section
5318:


IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the
funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial
institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that
opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension
of credit, or other financial services product. The Agent and/or the Lenders will ask for
Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address, and other information that will
allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Agent
and/or the Lenders may also ask to see Borrower’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’ legal organizational
documents or other identifying documents.

JOINDER AGREEMENT




[                    , 200   ]




     Reference is made to the Secured Term Loan Agreement dated as of August 11, 2008 (as the same
may now or hereafter be amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among First Potomac
Realty Investment Limited Partnership (“FPLP”), KeyBank National Association, individually and as
Administrative Agent, the other Lenders from time to time party thereto and KeyBanc Capital
Markets, as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager. Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such in the Loan Agreement.



     In consideration of and as an inducement to the inclusion by the Lenders of each of the Real

pursuant to the Loan Agreement, [                    ], a [                    ] (the “Additional
Borrower”), which is a Wholly-owned Subsidiary of FPLP, hereby acknowledges and agrees to the terms
and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower
is a party, joins in the agreements of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party and agrees that all Obligations of the
Borrower under the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is
a party shall be the obligations, jointly and severally, of the Additional Borrower and the
Borrower with the same force and effect as if the Additional Borrower was originally a Borrower
under the Loan Agreement and an original signatory to the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other
Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party.



     The Additional Borrower further agrees that its liability hereunder is direct and primary and
may be enforced by the Lenders and the Agent before or after proceeding against any other Borrower.



     At least three (3) Business Days prior to this Joinder Agreement becoming effective and each

each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, along with such other documents,
certificates and instruments reasonably required by the Agent, including, if necessary, updates to
the schedules to the Loan Agreement satisfactory to the Agent. Without in any way limiting the
other rights of the Agent under the Loan Agreement, the Additional Borrower agrees that the Agent
shall have the right to visit and inspect such Eligible Borrowing Base Property at the Borrower’s
sole cost and expense.



 









 





     The undersigned represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that it has the complete
right, power and authority to execute and deliver this Joinder Agreement and to perform all of the
obligations hereunder and the Obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents to which any Borrower is a party. This Joinder Agreement shall be binding upon the
undersigned and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, the Agent
and their respective successors and assigns.
